Bacon's Signature Ciphers in Shakespeare -41- us Cyphers

-41-

11)A line count of
33 is also found in the Prologue of The
Life of Henry the Fift. It’s worth a mention because the line has the word
“Cyphers” in it as well as the word “Figure’ nearby. It can suggest that we can
be “Cyphers” in the sense of having numerical names. It seems to say that the
writer, at least, is a ‘cypher’ and he’s associated this claim with the number
33.

The word
“Accompt”, though outwardly meaning a “narrative” accords with “Figure” and
“Cyphers” in its other usage as a term related to “reckoning” or “counting”.
